It's illegal for me to be gay in my home country, Zimbabwe. Does that mean I think Zimbabwe should experience a military extermination? It doesn't. Because I'm not a psychotic asshole.
I know this is doing the rounds, but JK Rowling is leveraging her wealth to silence people rightly calling her a Holocaust denier with lawyers. JK Rowling is a Holocaust denier, and being rich should not give you a free pass to abuse people.
People find Korra jarring because, unlike Aang, she's much older, didn't skip her training, and was surrounded by qualified teachers who personally knew the Avatar. Her narrative was based on an entirely different developmental paradigm. It's not perfect, but it's far from bad.
I have never signed a petition so fast. I've had personal dealings with Renaldo, and the behaviour doesn't stop at racism.

discourse is (for many reasons) none of my business, but so many white men saying that they're going to create gaming spaces for white men only are going have a lot of free time on their hands when they find out they've already been doing that for decades.
South Africans should be aware that homophobic hate speech is a crime in this country. Just the other month, washed up Afrikaans singer,

Why are straight people so obsessed with making everything about sexuality? I don't care who they sleep with, I just want a good story. Like, we get it - you're straight. You don't have to keep shoving it down our throats the whole time
I have an interview today for a job about which I'm really excited. Looking a bit scruffy (because morning), but I'm feeling really confident! Regardless of what happens, it's nice to know that my CV has some desirable experience. Wish me luck ❤️
I'm no longer taking people who think Korra was a bad Avatar seriously. There are some valid criticisms about the show itself, but I think she was pretty damn amazing. Go ahead and scream at me in the comments, idc
I think the most helpful thing I have learned to curb burnout since coming to terms with my autism diagnosis is being able to say to myself "I am clearly not feeling productive today. Let me reflect on the last time I was productive, recreate that tomorrow, and decompress today."
@PopBase
Thank god. All these openly str8 characters were making me sick. Like - we get it. You're str8. Why does it have to be your entire personality? At least Moana and Elsa had better things to do than chase the str8 agenda

Arnold was a white straight man, and people are pissed at LNX because not only do they hate seeing black people succeed, but a black gay man at that. Bigots do what they do
My dad is such an ally taking me to meet my icon, Ariel, and then immediately taking me to buy a sequin mermaid tail from the giftshop because "anything for my little mermaid." 😂🧜🏼♀️
Queer people of Cape Town - I will see you this Sunday at 1pm. Bring water balloons and get ready to cause some fucking problems, because I am so tired of these rat-faced straggot fucks. Not on any day of the year, but certainly not on Pride month.
We're taking our Rd back this Sunday from Devil Alliance, get your brushes ready with your black paint, at 1 o'clock on Greenpoint Somerset Rd...
We will paint the road black...
We will save our children's future from these freak colors.
Cape Town come and join us
Guys, you're all missing the best part... their engagement anniversary will ALWAYS be during Pride. They have forever associated their marriage with Pride month, and it's all completely self-inflicted 😂😂😂🏳️🌈
No matter how nasty people are to Dylan, she always responds with kindness and empathy, which is more than can be said about most people. For people to still hate her is actually just so incredibly maladjusted. Whether or not you find her annoying, she's simply a nice person.
Dylan Mulvaney breaks Bud Light silence: "for months now, I've been scared to leave my house. I have been ridiculed in public. I've been followed. And I have felt a loneliness I wouldn't wish on anyone."
Friendly reminder that Jackie Chan disowned his daughter for being gay. I don't know who tf this is in the video, but it's not his daughter. He's a garbage person and a worse father.
Jackie Chan and his daughter crying while watching some of his old movie scenes is the most wholesome thing you’ll watch today.
Thanks for our childhood legend ❤️
Literally not a single person threatened your life. You showed up alone, gave an interview to reporters who are mocking you online for being a dipshit, and then left having achieved nothing but alerting everyone how pathetic you are. Such a huge head, and yet no brains lol
I just wanted to express some appreciation today. about 6 years ago (give-or-take) my wonderful ex-boyfriend helped me get started with streaming and content creation. I love what I do so much, and I have been so lucky to have amazing people like that with me in this journey ♥
When I was a little boy I used to make my friends play barbies with me, and one kid's dad yelled at my home that I was making his kid gay by playing with barbies. A decade later, his dad messaged me on Grindr 💀

So
@ExclusiveBooks
was happy to sell copies of JK Rowling's transphobic book, "The Ink Black Heart," or
@HellenZille
's cringe book "Stay Woke or Go Broke," but they draw the line at a colouring book supporting Palestinian children. Never seeing a cent from me again.
Exclusive Books is now refusing to order copies - with directions seemingly coming from head office.
Here are some things you can do to turn this into a positive:
Transphobic people who are also gay should be completely ostracised from queer spaces. You want to feel like you belong? That's what dumpsters are for.
1/6 Unisex toilets reduce the likelihood of assault due to increased traffic, encourage better upkeep due to singular infrastructural needs, allow parents to accompany opposite-gender children to bathrooms, and single sex toilets do not prevent or even discourage assault.
This is the main character of the new Fable game from Microsoft. Continuing the trend of weirdly unattractive female main characters in video games, because beauty is objectifying. This is what happens when you consult with woke intersectional feminists.
Queer people are not obligated to hold your hand through allyship. If you are confused, ask. If you make a mistake, listen. It is that simple. We decide if you are an ally. Not you.
I will never tire of transphobes thinking the country abbreviations for Zimbabwe and South Africa are my pronouns. This is the same inbred looking clown that was calling trans people the T-slur all over my posts and then deleted them overnight 🤡
🏳️🌈QUEER CAPETONIANS🇿🇦: Sunday at 1pm. We are having Pride drinks at Café Manhattans just up the road from the crossing. We will ensure that he and his supporters are arrested for vandalism if they even dare to show up. Let's rally as a community. Shots are on me 👍🏻
At the risk of inciting this very phenomenon upon myself by saying so: Ironic homophobia is not funny if the subjects are not willing participants in the joke. It's just gross and deranged.
8 years ago today I was interviewed by a radio station in South Africa about queer rights, Zimbabwean politics, and the direction of inclusion + acceptance in our community. I am so proud to be continuing this amazing journey nearly a decade later with my incredible community ❤️
Please explain to me why I really hit it off with this guy over the weekend until he remembered he saw me kissing another guy at a club a while ago when we didn't even know each other, and then treated me like shit about it? Like - we hadn't even met yet?? Are men mentally well?
Was playing Fallout 76 and these two players came to my base, starting throwing Molotov cocktails at my pride flag and using vomit emotes, so I followed them, killed all their quest NPCs, nuked their base, and killed them 😀 I love this game💖
I'm not taking prisoners this

Diagnosed as a child with comorbid ASD and ADHD (AuDHD) and have only spoken about my ADHD because I never felt like I was "autistic enough" but learning to parse out which of my traits have to do with ASD has helped me live a more functional life ♾️

@FrankthePegasus
Imagine men online being so pervasively toxic to women who display any modicum of libidinousness that being rejected for an unsolicited nude request not ending with sexist verbal abuse gets it's very own congratulatory tweet 😂
Protest footage: (CW: LOUD BANGS *dispersal grenades*) They lobbed DGs at us, maced vanguard protestors, and corralled us into corners for random arrests. If only they had the same energy for perpetrators of sexual assault and gender-based violence.

Where I think the show really falls short is the supporting characters. Mako, Bolin, and even Asami did not develop nearly as well as Sokka and Katara. They felt more like narrative tools more than self-actualized characters despite the VAs' incredible performances ❤️
I find it hard to believe that one of the world's most popular authors failed to correctly convey her feelings about trans people. She just doesn't like the fact that the world now sees what a fucking awful person she is.
Going through some old photos and found this lovely picture of
@HaleyJoelOsment
and me on the set of a Sci-Fi series we both worked on! Such a lovely guy 🥰
I get that some think it's unfair that people are disappointed in you for continuing to buy Harry P. merch, but I assure you that it's even more unfair for queer people to see their friends prove that their support is only contingent on never actually having to give anything up.
Didn't have "Elmo being accused of being Hamas by a man who literally ugly cried because of Elliot Page's pronouns" on my 2024 Bingo card, and that was honestly shortsighted of me at this point 😐
1/2 Pride month is honestly the most emotionally difficult month of the year, because the hate that cranks up in volume from uneducated pieces of shit makes me feel like that little boy growing up in Zimbabwe again worrying if anyone found out who I was that I'd be lynched.

@ImKayziee
When a guy says something like that, he's looking to see how you react. You failed the shit test. Instead, you should throw shit back at him to show you are at least equal. Guys do this all the time with other guys they don't know. That's how we get a feel for who they are.
